OFT - "No evidence of a competition problem in the heating oil market"

OFT Off-grid Market Study

On Tuesday, the Office of Fair Trading published its off-grid energy study. For the study's key findings, see FON's email newsletter sent to readers on publication day or go to www.oft.gov.uk for the full report.

The OFT's study found no evidence of a competition problem in the heating oil market that would require either Competition Act enforcement or intervention to regulate prices in the market. Prices aside, 94% of consumers surveyed were either "very or fairly satisfied" with the service received from their main supplier.
